When filmmaker Carol Fernandes was only 9 years old, her mother lost a long battle against HIV/AIDS. Through mise en scene and her own childhood memories, Carol Fernandes (with the collaboration of Jonathan Beaulieu-Cyr) tries to recreate the reassuring figure of the mother for a fleeting moment. By jumping into dangerous memories, Box reveals the incandescent relationship between mother and daughter.
